there was a piece "the new york times" this week and governor r romney's tenure as governor of massachusetts and his ability to work with the democratic legislation. >> this was a laughable story, by the way. >> joe, sam, i was stunned. "new york times," our greatest newspaper, they couldn't find one single democratic ledge islator to talk to. >> you look at the headline and we're talking about the headline where it said mitt romney's claims of bipartisanship coming under close e observation by "the new york times" and of course, i haven't seen those stories over the past four years over mr. hope and change when we've had the most partisan congress and white house in recent history. but they make this claim. "the new york times" themselves make this claim and you're exactly right because now, every day, they're hammering with another story that just every day. they make this claim and they can't find a singh l democratic legislator to say. >> there wasn't one quoted. >> have they not seen the picture of teddy kennedy and mitt romney smiling at each other? >> it was business there wasn't a de

>> right. >> why not jump in and say, well, just a minute, governor romney. you just said i will pass a tax cut, but i will not pass a tax cut because if you do pass a tax cut, it's going to add to the deficit. so which is it? you know, you're contradicting yourself in the same sentence. and that sort of thing. and, again, one has to expect that the next debate will be different. but i thought there were 15 opportunities to jump in and say, gvovernor romney, that doesn't parse with what you just said, or that doesn't parse with what you said last week or, you know, gee, what about the 47%? but anyhow. that was the other night, and i guess we'll move on. >> i think we have a tendency to overthink these things in terms of the debate meant this, the debate meant that. most people aren't sitting around waiting for the fact checkers to show up. most people don't have paul krugman on speed dial to verify what was said or not said. but most people watching the debate know one thing about it. and they know that there's a lot of debate prep that goes on with both of t

governor romney has set out a direction. he's not an accountant. he's not going to go line by line through the budget like you'd like do. but let's hold the president to the same standard and criticize him as well. >>> good morning. it's 8:00 on the east coast, 5:00 a.m. on the west coast. time to wake up, everybody, as you take a live look at new york city. back with us on set we have mark halperin and john hallman. >> mark halperin, chris christie coming in talking about the debate, also talking about how the press needs to ask tough questions of the president, but chris christie didn't get the memo that you're supposed to downplay expectations. yesterday he said his first debate was going to be game-changer. >> well, i don't think it really matters. people are making a big deal about what he said. i think what matters is mitt romney needs to close the gap. which is you've got to believe -- he needs everyone to believe he's going to win. a lot of new polls this morning. a lot don't think mitt romney is going to win. a lot of people think the pres

the president 49%, governor romney 48%. that's an astounding show of strength, i would think, for the president of the united states. given the reality of our economic circumstances. >> reporter: i think you have to look at it the other way. an astounding show of weakness in mitt romney. i saw yesterday, brett o'donnell who was a debate coach for mitt romney until he was pushed out of the inner circle whether it's because he took too much credit for romney's good debate back in the primary, whatever the reason. but i thought he made a great point when he said, you know, mitt romney has made the case that the economy is sputtering. what he has not done is he has not successfully connected it to policies from president obama. and he's not going to win this debate unless he makes that connection in the minds of the voters. and i think when you see all these polls that show dead even on the economy, he hasn't made that -- the president's done a better job and including that's president clinton's job, but a better job of saying,
